KATIE HARBERT, COORDINATOR OF STUDENT-ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF OREGON

This program has provided an opportunity unique to the University of Oregon for our student-athletes to not only learn about but apply knowledge in the field of conflict resolution and sports. Their classes, programs and opportunities complement what we do in Student-Athlete Development by assisting student-athletes in their career and personal development as well as involvement in the community.

The Sports Conflict Institute (SCI) supports competitive goals in athletics through assessing, preventing, and resolving destructive conflicts that occur both inside and outside the lines. Serving as a resource center that provides a range of services to help manage risk and optimize performance, we know that some conflict is inevitable, but how we respond ultimately determines whether success or failure will follow.

SCI supports both organizational and individual goals. Our approach is based on the assumption that good conflict management is good for sports, good for the business of sports, and good for society. Every day there is a sports conflict that makes national headlines. SCI is dedicated to minimizing these destructive costs by looking far below the tip of the iceberg to foster the positive value that sports can provide.
